Alexander McQueen to be Featured in Upcoming Book

38 sec read

Books and movies about fashion designers seems to be a growing trend right now. The book about Yves Saint Laurent’s art collection is being published, the Coco Chanel film hits theaters soon, and Valentino is appearing on talk shows to promote the new documentary about him. Maybe an overall decline in fashion industry sales has caused a slight shift of interest from their collections to the designers’ private lives.

The newest report of a behind-the-scenes peek into the fashion world is a book about Alexander McQueen. Photographer Nick Waplington is said to have shadowed McQueen as the designer went about the business of preparing his most recent Paris Fashion Week collection.

The book is rumored to be released sometime next year, although the exact date remains unknown for now. It will be interesting to find out if McQueen’s inspiration behind the unique make-up and accessories choices for his Paris runway show is part of the project. If so, I can imagine big sales for this one…or at least tons of bookstore skimming.
